Well, I didn't say that they were necessarily bad. Just that they were similar!
Extras - no Series 3 Page 6
Hes also just co-written, co-directed and starred in a forthcoming film that also features people like Tina Fey and Jason Bateman! Im looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
The stand up shows are similar. I'll agree with that.
But I'd say that's true of most if not all comedians.

Yeah, stand ups dont tend to radically alter their style for each new set! Sometimes they probably wear different shirts, but thats about it.
Whoever is watching Extras and The Office and saying they are similar is only looking at the cast list in the Radio Times, if you ask me. I know you didn't, but..still.
Quote: Will Brook @ May 29 2008, 9:31 PM BSTI just don't see any stand out funny scenes in any of his episodes of extra/the office or his live shows.
No stand out scenes? Er, let's see. There's David Brent getting sacked and standing up to reveal he's wearing half an ostrich suit. There's David Brent dancing like a complete tit on Comic Relief day. David Brent hijacking a team building session and playing songs on his guitar. David Bowie singing about what a loser Andy Millman is. Stephen Merchant trying to guess which is the mongoloid on Richard and Judy. Stephem Merchant caught masturbating over a pen in his office. Les Dennis wandering around naked in his changing room...
Both the Office and Extras are choc full of classic moments.
Im glad there is no 3rd series , it is a tired format.
Your mother's a tired format.
zooo, naughty! Naughty diety!
Best. Comeback. Ever.
I can never get tired of 'your mum' jokes.

I don't know whose mum you're talking about, but she sounds like a bloody good'n.

I wish I had a mum like that.
Poor Ricky. His thread has gone disturbingly off course.
